I hope you enjoyed battling with The Hindu Crossword 1000 set by Admiral Katari, the first crossword compiler of The Hindu. Admiral Katari's family has kindly shared two of his crosswords with us, here is the second of the lot – The Hindu Crossword 1001. This crossword was originally published in The Hindu on the same date as today, exactly 38 years ago.

No more responses came in via the comment form, and then I got a mail that there's some trouble with posting comments. Is anyone else facing a similar problem? I believe there is a change in blogger's captcha process.

Or maybe everyone's away for Durga Puja!

In any case, since I'd promised to share the answers on the 22nd I have updated the main post with the solutions in the Admiral's hand + my own annotated answers. Let me know if your parsing differs for any of the clues.

For some reason, I am not able to access Deepak Gopinath's blog on the Hindu Crossword for some time now. But from the google search it looks as though the blog is functional and some people are able to access it. Can anyone help?
